renaming multiple images

[MartinP]

Hi all,
it seems, i've lost the possibility to rename multiple files at once - renaming single files works.
This is the prcess on Windows 10 with version 1.4.1:
mark several files; pres <F2>; menu pops up (sorry german interface); filling in new name and a numbering

after hitting "OK" this appears

saying "Error renamimg. The file could not be renamed"

Well, I'm not using this every day, but I swear it worked last year (round about summer) and now after updating it does not work anymore - in between I can't say. I normally update to every new version, but haven't used multiple renaming in between.

Well there were WIN10 updates in between but my working path where I work with the images before storing them is still the same. And multi renaming with other tools with the same files in the same dir does work normal.

Did I miss a new configuration for that?

Thanks
Martin

hi,

I just tested and it works for me.
Is your folder protecting in write ?
You can try with batch convert tool.

You can try an reinstall.

Thanks al ot for looking in!

No, it is not an issue with rights or protection or what ever - I found it, it was an issue with the INI file

some years ago I've configured some sidecar definitions for JPG, TIF and other:



if I delete those last lines, renaming is working again



This configuration was cool for having XN to move those files together with the JPG, TIF etc. Well, I dont need this anymore, so I can delete them. But these lines did not influence the renaming until the version in most propbly the December version of last year.

In december, there has been a changement in the rename to respect the case of the companion files, perhaps the origin of the problem ?
here is the change.

yes, it looks like this was the change causing it - thanks
